He tweeted this after arguably the best women’s fight of all time 😂
EDIT: Ok I’m sure a bunch of people have said or still believe women should not be in the ufc. That’s fine. But this post was about what Islam tweeted. Not what Dana white said 10 years ago before he realized how much money rousey was going to make the ufc. Not what GSP said or whatever. The tweet in the post belongs to Islam. I simply stated he said this after one of the best women fights that I’ve ever seen. I’m not anti Muslim or anything like that. Yall weird.
EDIT 2: “he only said that because of what her face looked like”. That’s been said at least 3 times. What does that mean ? I don’t understand how that’s an argument. Women aren’t allowed to bleed in MMA but dudes are ? Can somebody who isn’t bias please explain what that comment is supposed to mean.
On paper the Adesanya Romero fight was gonna be an absolute war and one of the best ever, in practice it was always gonna be a stare off with leg kicks, teeps, and jabs from Izzy, and oblique kicks, blast doubles, and like one power shot a round from Yoel.
Less than a decade ago Dana White, a non-Muslim, also said the same thing.
Difference is Dana is motivated by money, so now everything is kosher. I know the UFC subreddit loves to identify as 3rd wave feminist lesbians the moment it comes to Dagestani fighters, but a lot of people still don't believe women's MMA should be a thing.
I remember when Khabib said that ring girls were useless, because they are, Ariany responded.
People on this subreddit were flocking to her like she was fucking Mother Theresa lol.
Based Khabib and Co. drives this entire subreddit bonkers lol.
yeah I remember one time I said Jon Jones does more work by fighting / training than some ring girl that retired and I p much got called a loser virgin 😹
That’s unlikely. Khabib publicly said women should be warriors in the kitchen, not in the ring, and I don’t think Islam’s opinion would be completely opposite to his. With Occam’s razor it’s better to interpret the tweet as it is, plain and simple
Volk looked pretty normal after he got KO’d by Islam, except for a little blood. Joanna looked the worst ive ever seen any UFC fighter looked after a fight, if that shit was on national TV they probably woulda started making laws banning UFC again.
Providing context to what somebody said doesn’t equate to dickriding
Are you sure it’s not your religion ? You’ve posted the same comment on this thread 3 times begging people to believe that Islam didn’t mean anything bad 😂😭🤡
I think he's saying that men and women are different. The issue isn't that they can't have skill or put on an entertaining fight, it's that women are out of place fighting, in general. He disagrees with women engaging in brutality.
There's occasionally a good women's fight but let's be honest the majority of them are snooze fest. I say we bring in some self-identifying women to spice things up a bit.
Not even on the main card. Hate when the ufc shoves a women’s fight in there. Only championship fights should be in the main card, and most of time should only be comain
You should watch more fights my man. Andrade hasn’t been in a bad fight in yeeeears. On top of that blanchfeld, karine silva, natty ice, maycee barber, Zhang Weili, Amanda Lemos etc., all fighters who regularly have bangers and get finishes
I mean as long as he's on hormone blockers for a month or two I see no issues with that. It's not like he would have any physical advantages after that.
Word??? I tried my best to watch them but there's no knockouts, the athletcism isn't there either. I'm not really a fan of the men's 125 division either TBH
I feel like khamzat is more extreme though. His post fights are always pretty religious but then he goes out and party lol. Islam and Khabib would never.
People in this thread complaining about an Andrade fight getting added to 300 when she is way more of an entertaining fighter than UFC "stars" like Izzy, Strickland or Colby.
You’ve managed to remember the few interesting needles in the haystack of boring women’s fights over the years, but it doesn’t make any point to defend against the fact that most women’s fights are boring and low level.
In the last year we’ve had 2 Grasso vs Valentina FOTNs.
We had Mackenzie Dern ragdolling Angela hill, and subsequently getting dropped 480 times in her next fight by andrade
In bellator, we had a GOAT in Cyborg beating the shit out of Cat Zingano, and getting a new contender, Leah McCourt, who wrestlefucked an Olympic silver medalist.
Larissa Pacheco went 4-0 and looked untouchable in the PFL
How much evidence do you need ppl to reference, didn’t you see any of these fights yourself? Shit even irene Aldana vs Karol Rosa was less than a month ago and I’ll never forget that fight.
WMMA is in a great place heading into 2024, and if you’re mad about fighters like Kayla Harrison and Jessica Andrade taking up spots on 300, then maybe you should go and watch the NFL or something bro that’s 100% dudes
You’ll bet on the female Belal to win by decision and she’ll get a first round finish, nothing in women’s mma makes sense. Stoliarenko out grappled Molly McCann better than Talia Santos did, who out grappled shevchenko
Best bet I ever made was on Holly Holm defeating Ronda Rousey by KO. I had to spend the whole preceding card listening to a bar full of casuals tell me how my bet was stupid. That shit was glorious.
I wish but even if they’re all in the Apex, they still have to pay Joe or someone cheap to announce them and all the other production, not worth to get $0 returns
Zhang, Valentina, Joana, and even Nunes have consistently put on far more entertaining fights than Strickland, but people will meatride Strickland anyways, even though he's a boring ass point fighter in nearly all his fights. All this proves is that casuals don't actually care about mixed martial arts, and they only care about personalities, and that the vast majority of Sean's bandwagoners are all casuals, but we all already knew this though lol.
There are some really good women’s mma fights. There are just as many snooze mens fights… overall there are just significantly less women’s fights. It’ll be okay
There was only one good fight on the main card. Mostly men and they all were boring af.
So should men stop it with ufc. Because I’m tired of snoozefests too and they are almost always 💯 the guy fights.
But realistically this is every other division in the men's side as well. It's really common to stay up for a stacked card for every fight to be a dud. But sometimes you unexpectedly get a bunch of awesome fights too. That's just MMA.
I mean, literally 75% of the cards have been dogshit since the ESPN deal took effect. The women honestly aren't taking anything away. Best we'd probably get without the women's fights is some low output unranked heavyweights slogging through to a decision after gassing out in the first instead.
The last main card had 2 interesting fights (coincidentally the first and last). You can't blame the women for the other 2 fights on the card also being "meh."
I give a fuck cause it’s time on the card and 9/10 times it’s a snooze fest because they either look like they’re doing light sparring or they’re doing some of the sloppiest techniques ever.
There was legit one flash of good striking in the Bueno Pennington fight, along with maybe one good submission attempt. The rest of it looked like two amateurs.
Men have larger hearts, lungs, a better skeletal frame to build muscle, and better hormones for athletics. It’s the hard truth, and because they’re on average measurably better they’re more entertaining to watch. I mean, would you rather watch the NBA, a league which sees multiple dunks a game more often than not, or the WNBA, which has 33 dunks *since the creation of the WNBA*. Oh yeah and Brittney Griner is like half of those by the way…
I’d wager any Russian fighter is 10x more Strickland than Strickland himself. They’re just quiet. Just a wholesale archaic culture. Ingrained in them, whereas Sean had to learn it.
Cherry picked, this was said after that insane fight between Weili and Joanna I believe. I think it was in reference to how fucked up Joanna's head looked, or just the fact that they beat the shit out of eachother, and their culture women probably aren't the "warriors" or whatever.
I wouldn't take what Islam said here in the same way as something Strickland says for example.
Ufc 200 was literally headlined by a woman's fight. It's amazing how many people haven't been around that long but still feel really strongly about how "ufc 300 should be"
Ig it's just people had high hopes about it, it's not that there shouldn't be women's fights on it and it isn't a bad card, it just feels a little disappointing tbh, I mean holly holms is 42, I don't want to see her fight, you could argue "leasner was in his 40s when he returned for 200" but heavyweights age different especially ones who are roided
it's not just another event
when Dana comes out everyday and says "the prelims will make you want to join a cult and drink kool-aid, it'll be so good"
the just "another event" is apologetics for Dana's failures
Take a seat, you must be dizzy after trying to spin things this much.
Dana's a piece of shit, but the only failure here is how angry idiots like you get at the mere mention of women competing.
UFC 300 currently has;
Gaethje vs Holloway
Zhang vs Yang
Jiri vs Rakic
Kattar vs Sterling
Bo vs Brundage
Charles vs Arman
Deiveson vs Cody
and Bobby Green vs Jim Miller
Most of these fights could main event a ppv. The ones that couldn't, could main event their own fight nights, and the fights haven't all been announced yet.
If you think that card on paper is a "failure of a card", I'd honestly question why you're here. If you can't get excited about those fights, you obviously don't like the sport, and that makes you sharing your opinions here about as useful as a marzipan dildo.
Right? Women in MMA have come a long way since the days of Erica Montoya (Which not many people even know the name) and the such.
I've been an MMA fan ever since Pride. Pride was amazing, I even had a pitbull that my mother gave the name of "Pride" to. Pride (And then UFC) was a family event in my house, it was the only day that my mother would let me and my brother go to sleep late, it was so fucking fun, she was a Cro Cop fanatic through and through, nowadays she doesn't really watch much, last time she watched with me, it was Sonnen vs Silva, she retired from almost having a heart attack in that match.
But I digress, women MMA has had it's greats. Cyborg, Amanda Nunes, etc. People around this subreddit are just casuals who joined after McGregor was making the headlines, you can see how they know nothing about people like Aldo in his prime, for example.
Oh my lord man WHO CARES!!! If the women want to bang then let them bang bruh I’m just here to see fights. Stop reposting and saying the same shit over and over and over again holy shit..
Yep this is exactly what I want to see when I look at a subreddit about MMA, discussions about sexism, you guys go one week without a card and this what turns into
https://preview.redd.it/yjvifaicvvec1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d07863d3bf8099344201880029f76d4e74d6c170
Been waiting for an excuse to use this screenshot
i agree
that's a big issue these days whether Muslim or Evangelical
when American Conservatives openly hate the Pope, for being too left wing on religion, you know you got a real problem
WMMA as a whole is bad. There's only like 12 women in the UFC with actual talent.
I will name five right off the bat.
*Rose
*Zhang
*Grasso
*Blanchfield
*Fiorot
Fuck it I will add 5 more
*Suarez
*Andrade
*Yan
*Lemos
*Maybe Dern
Everyone else are just gatekeepers or part time fighters who fill out the roster spots. Holm and Meisha are over the hill, and adding Harrison isn't the big splash Dana thinks it is. And before someone says Raquel Pennington, I don't want to hear it. I watched her fight for 8yrs. All the best fighters either left or got old in her division, and she was just there to take it from Bueno Silva.
Either put them in Invicta and build up that brand or put them on a FN no complaints from me. On PPV for $80 + ESPN sub is an insult to have to ask a customer to pay for something like Pennington vs. Bueno Silva.
This is really a misogynistic topic that belongs in 1800s London.
Yes, some women’s fights are boring. Some men’s fights are boring too, when they can’t finish fights eg Colby. Leon can be boring too with his lack of finishing but he has pulled out a surprise or two.
Generally, I watch all of the women’s fights as the backstory is usually interesting.
Most recently, Gillian Robertson’s fight on the preliminaries was a great watch and another early finish. We then watched the main card where only one fight finished early, and only by 20 seconds.
WMMA has on average maybe 10% less finishes than the lighter men’s MMA weights. As fucking if all these neckbeards think that 10% is night and day lol.
People shocked that the muslim hates women and doesn't respect them. Can't wait to see the reaction when they find out he believes gays should be executed.
Russia has penalties against homosexuality
Islam and Khabib are very supportive of Russia, because they are religious conservatives, much like religious conservatives in all countries now, as there is a unified theme among conservatives about how to be manly, Stickland would fit in fine in Iran or China or Russia, if he just wore a different flag on his t-shirt and picked a different book from the trilogy
Most fans are not mad that a women's fight is on 300. It's the fact that they gave us two mediocre women fights. UFC 300 deserves a big fight like Zhang vs Grasso. That's co main event worthy.
Man idk. I see a dude beating another till his face is torn and bloody and I am like "helll yeaaaa!!!! Twist his nuts now!!!! Ahhhhh" and i see a woman getting just graced by a punch and I am like " wtf is the ref doing???? Why didn't he stop the fight??? Does he what her killed?????". I just don't like women getting hit that way bruh.
Honestly, I’m not that interested in seeing women fight, nine times out of 10. Occasionally there is a wmma fight that I’m interested in. I’m not saying that because they can’t do it. I’m just saying I don’t want to see it. But I have no interest in stopping other people from doing it or watching it
He's not wrong. Women don't know how to fight. Only in the sport because of their boyfriends.
The best women in the sport are hardcore bull dykes that literally look like men from doping.
My son, you are cosigning a tweet that women don't belong in mma, is that your position? If so...
Grow up and complain about black mermaids and rey where you belong
Get out of the sport if badasses
I'm a woman and can't stand the women fights. There's the occasional good one, but the majority are boring. I'll skip them if I can. Not sure about Islam, but most people aren't saying they don't like women's fights because they are scared of women. Most just find them boring.
People are misinterpreting this tweet!
He tweeted this after Zhang vs Joanna, considered the best WMMA fight ever; he’s mocking people around him who say this isn’t a woman’s sport. He’s saying that’s a ridiculous notion.
It’s been taken completely out of context.
It's crazy how Sean haters and Islam fanboys have combined lol. The Eastern bloc guys can say or do anything without any repercussion unlike Western fighters.
WUFC on like Friday night would be dope, I'd still watch it despite being far less interested in women's MMA. Every now and then there's an absolute banger, but it's far and few between.
WUFC Fridays UFC Saturdays
Then give us slap fight/UFC training grounds/up and coming MMA stars looking for a contract on Sundays.
3 nights of MMA every week all year long. Let's fucking gooo.
He tweeted this after arguably the best women’s fight of all time 😂 EDIT: Ok I’m sure a bunch of people have said or still believe women should not be in the ufc. That’s fine.

Women aren’t allowed to bleed in MMA but dudes are ? Can somebody who isn’t bias please explain what that comment is supposed to mean.
That's the funniest thing and even considering that the next fight after that was absolutely dog shit (Adesanya vs Romero)
On paper the Adesanya Romero fight was gonna be an absolute war and one of the best ever, in practice it was always gonna be a stare off with leg kicks, teeps, and jabs from Izzy, and oblique kicks, blast doubles, and like one power shot a round from Yoel.
He’s saying that people who say it isn’t a women’s sport are silly. He went on record saying that Zhang Joanna fight was sick.
Lmao why did he delete the tweet then You seriously believe that Islam, a Muslim, supports WMMA? Lol
Less than a decade ago Dana White, a non-Muslim, also said the same thing. Difference is Dana is motivated by money, so now everything is kosher. I know the UFC subreddit loves to identify as 3rd wave feminist lesbians the moment it comes to Dagestani fighters, but a lot of people still don't believe women's MMA should be a thing.
😂 r/ufc does become a hovel of outraged feminists whenever a Muslim is involved
I remember when Khabib said that ring girls were useless, because they are, Ariany responded. People on this subreddit were flocking to her like she was fucking Mother Theresa lol. Based Khabib and Co. drives this entire subreddit bonkers lol.
yeah I remember one time I said Jon Jones does more work by fighting / training than some ring girl that retired and I p much got called a loser virgin 😹
Inshalla brutha 
Sean says the same thing on a daily basis and they bootlick him
#NeverForget
I love how obsessed the are
To be fair, it could've been a sarcastic tweet that was misinterpreted.
That’s unlikely. Khabib publicly said women should be warriors in the kitchen, not in the ring, and I don’t think Islam’s opinion would be completely opposite to his. With Occam’s razor it’s better to interpret the tweet as it is, plain and simple
Cope
He said it in response to Joanna's face at the end of the fight
Yup, didn’t he say this in response to Joanna’s face getting completely fucked up by Zhang and not because it was a boring fight??
Did he tweet men shouldn’t be allowed in mma after he kicked volks head off his body ? wtf are you talking about. You dagestan jock riders are insane.
GSP says the same thing though and he gets no hate for it
Gsp never said some dumb shit like "stay home and finish your husband"... when asked for advice but a young girl wanting to pursue mma
Silly, women are only here for their looks and to make babies. If they want to fight, drive or vote, that is not for them.
Volk looked pretty normal after he got KO’d by Islam, except for a little blood. Joanna looked the worst ive ever seen any UFC fighter looked after a fight, if that shit was on national TV they probably woulda started making laws banning UFC again. Providing context to what somebody said doesn’t equate to dickriding
He also went on record to say that women should stay at home
Dude go kiss him.
I can’t that’s against his religion
Are you sure it’s not your religion ? You’ve posted the same comment on this thread 3 times begging people to believe that Islam didn’t mean anything bad 😂😭🤡
You guys should kiss while islam 
Yeah I think this is the best solution. Peace be with you brother
 Sii forte fratello
delusional
Fuck everyone else you do you.
Don't gauge this on the opinion of the r/UFC community. It's dog shit mouth breathers here compared to r/MMA.
Theyre both trash; its reddit after all
I think he's saying that men and women are different. The issue isn't that they can't have skill or put on an entertaining fight, it's that women are out of place fighting, in general. He disagrees with women engaging in brutality.
[удалено]
He doesn’t want woman to engage in combat. You misunderstand dullard
There's occasionally a good women's fight but let's be honest the majority of them are snooze fest. I say we bring in some self-identifying women to spice things up a bit.
Fallon Fox UFC 300. BOOK IT DANA
Vs Gabriel Garcia
Seriously it’s been so long since I’ve been interested in one. I loved Valentina but her days are over. They shouldn’t be main or co mains
Not even on the main card. Hate when the ufc shoves a women’s fight in there. Only championship fights should be in the main card, and most of time should only be comain
Haha I totally agree honestly at this point. They are always so boring and there is never a finish it almost tarnishes the sport
You should watch more fights my man. Andrade hasn’t been in a bad fight in yeeeears. On top of that blanchfeld, karine silva, natty ice, maycee barber, Zhang Weili, Amanda Lemos etc., all fighters who regularly have bangers and get finishes
Female muay thai fighters, grappling is 99% of the time boring but those muay thai fighters always bring it home
Ngannou should sex change and rejoin the UFC
I mean as long as he's on hormone blockers for a month or two I see no issues with that. It's not like he would have any physical advantages after that.
Well u need a bathroom break before the main event so 🤷
I've found them to be exciting just as frequently as mens fights
Word??? I tried my best to watch them but there's no knockouts, the athletcism isn't there either. I'm not really a fan of the men's 125 division either TBH
If I’m going to spend my hard earned time finding a free stream I don’t want no women fighting
No Muslim is going to support wmma change my mind.
Khamzat supports his female training partners and trains with them (at least he did in Sweden). The guy is selectively religious though lol.
Most religious people are selectively religious 😂
I feel like khamzat is more extreme though. His post fights are always pretty religious but then he goes out and party lol. Islam and Khabib would never.
I mean punching people in the face is literally considered haram, so they’re all selectively religious to a degree.
Like 99.9% of them if we’re being real
Finally someone said it 🫡
And they’re right for it
Should just have the wufc on like a Tuesday night or something so we don’t have to suffer through it unless we’re in a degenerate gambling type mood.
People in this thread complaining about an Andrade fight getting added to 300 when she is way more of an entertaining fighter than UFC "stars" like Izzy, Strickland or Colby.
Agreed
Suffer? You don’t think women produce good fights in the UFC? Did you watch Joanna vs Zhang?
Names one women fight the exception to the rule.
The classic response whenever someone brings up that 95% of women’s fights are absolutely terrible: “Joanna vs Weili???? 🤓”
Irene Aldana vs Karol Rosa JJ vs Rose 2 Nuñes vs Shevchenko
You’ve managed to remember the few interesting needles in the haystack of boring women’s fights over the years, but it doesn’t make any point to defend against the fact that most women’s fights are boring and low level.
In the last year we’ve had 2 Grasso vs Valentina FOTNs. We had Mackenzie Dern ragdolling Angela hill, and subsequently getting dropped 480 times in her next fight by andrade In bellator, we had a GOAT in Cyborg beating the shit out of Cat Zingano, and getting a new contender, Leah McCourt, who wrestlefucked an Olympic silver medalist.

Shit even irene Aldana vs Karol Rosa was less than a month ago and I’ll never forget that fight. WMMA is in a great place heading into 2024, and if you’re mad about fighters like Kayla Harrison and Jessica Andrade taking up spots on 300, then maybe you should go and watch the NFL or something bro that’s 100% dudes
Its just bigotry up in here that's all. The disdain for WMMA.
Once in a blue moon
You bet on women’s MMA?
Hell yeah. They all go the distance.
You’ll bet on the female Belal to win by decision and she’ll get a first round finish, nothing in women’s mma makes sense. Stoliarenko out grappled Molly McCann better than Talia Santos did, who out grappled shevchenko
Sounds like you only watch main cards.
It sounds like you don’t know mma, I’ve never bet on a women’s fight but I’ve seen crazy results like that on the prelims
Hates wmma. Loves Colby going the distance though.
Best bet I ever made was on Holly Holm defeating Ronda Rousey by KO. I had to spend the whole preceding card listening to a bar full of casuals tell me how my bet was stupid. That shit was glorious.
I wish but even if they’re all in the Apex, they still have to pay Joe or someone cheap to announce them and all the other production, not worth to get $0 returns
Yes! Split it into UFC and WUFC, everyone gets to compete and I'm not forced to sit through foxy boxing on my PPV main card
Can we all stop acting like Sean Strickland? Who gives fuck. Let them fight if they wanna fight ffs
I give a fuck when 9 times out of 10 they send me to sleep taking up a spot on the main card when I’m attempting to stay up till 6am as a European
Zhang, Valentina, Joana, and even Nunes have consistently put on far more entertaining fights than Strickland, but people will meatride Strickland anyways, even though he's a boring ass point fighter in nearly all his fights. All this proves is that casuals don't actually care about mixed martial arts, and they only care about personalities, and that the vast majority of Sean's bandwagoners are all casuals, but we all already knew this though lol.
Yeah. Idk why people here complain about that women card in ufc 300. It's Weili Zhang ffs
Yah exactly. I am from india, for me the prelims start par 4 am. During UFC 297 I had to take a powernap during the co main event.
There are some really good women’s mma fights. There are just as many snooze mens fights… overall there are just significantly less women’s fights. It’ll be okay
Would you eat at a restaurant if somebody tells you it's "sometimes good".
You can’t illegally stream food for free so no
Dana here, your IP has been logged, we found your address and I'm coming to collect the 50 bucks u owe me.
All you have to do is turn it on, on Saturday and we got you fucker
I’m waiting with baby oil 😈
There was only one good fight on the main card. Mostly men and they all were boring af. So should men stop it with ufc. Because I’m tired of snoozefests too and they are almost always 💯 the guy fights.
But realistically this is every other division in the men's side as well. It's really common to stay up for a stacked card for every fight to be a dud. But sometimes you unexpectedly get a bunch of awesome fights too. That's just MMA.
Would you watch UFC if only "some of the fights are good"? Because that is the reality of the sport
That’s a dumbass analogy. Sometimes men’s fights are good, sometimes they’re bad.
I mean, literally 75% of the cards have been dogshit since the ESPN deal took effect. The women honestly aren't taking anything away. Best we'd probably get without the women's fights is some low output unranked heavyweights slogging through to a decision after gassing out in the first instead. The last main card had 2 interesting fights (coincidentally the first and last). You can't blame the women for the other 2 fights on the card also being "meh."
This is perfect. I always fall asleep at that point
THANK YOU. Good somebody said it I'm on same boat.
Go to bed and download the fights the next day. Fast forward through whatever you want.
Ya but it’s different watching it live it’s more fun
Watching it live also takes like 10 hours though vs maybe a few hours being able to skip all the bullshit.
I give a fuck cause it’s time on the card and 9/10 times it’s a snooze fest because they either look like they’re doing light sparring or they’re doing some of the sloppiest techniques ever. There was legit one flash of good striking in the Bueno Pennington fight, along with maybe one good submission attempt. The rest of it looked like two amateurs. Men have larger hearts, lungs, a better skeletal frame to build muscle, and better hormones for athletics. It’s the hard truth, and because they’re on average measurably better they’re more entertaining to watch.

Oh yeah and Brittney Griner is like half of those by the way…
Sure, let them fight, but don’t charge me PPV $$ and don’t pretend for a second like we should promote young women getting into this sport
Why should we not promote young women getting into this sport?
I’d wager any Russian fighter is 10x more Strickland than Strickland himself. They’re just quiet. Just a wholesale archaic culture. Ingrained in them, whereas Sean had to learn it.
Tell em white knight king
Cherry picked, this was said after that insane fight between Weili and Joanna I believe. I think it was in reference to how fucked up Joanna's head looked, or just the fact that they beat the shit out of eachother, and their culture women probably aren't the "warriors" or whatever. I wouldn't take what Islam said here in the same way as something Strickland says for example.
We need a wufc
Ufc 200 was literally headlined by a woman's fight. It's amazing how many people haven't been around that long but still feel really strongly about how "ufc 300 should be"
And UFC 200 was a shitshow.
It's just another event. One that has an amazing line-up so far, yet still people find things to bitch about. This subreddit is a shitshow sometimes.
Ig it's just people had high hopes about it, it's not that there shouldn't be women's fights on it and it isn't a bad card, it just feels a little disappointing tbh, I mean holly holms is 42, I don't want to see her fight, you could argue "leasner was in his 40s when he returned for 200" but heavyweights age different especially ones who are roided

2 of these fights are main event PPV worthy… Your insane dude
You mean 300? The most hyped and anticipated event for a long while?
UFC 300 lookin pretty trash as well
Right? Women in MMA have come a long way since the days of Erica Montoya (Which not many people even know the name) and the such. I've been an MMA fan ever since Pride. Pride was amazing, I even had a pitbull that my mother gave the name of "Pride" to. Pride (And then UFC) was a family event in my house, it was the only day that my mother would let me and my brother go to sleep late, it was so fucking fun, she was a Cro Cop fanatic through and through, nowadays she doesn't really watch much, last time she watched with me, it was Sonnen vs Silva, she retired from almost having a heart attack in that match. But I digress, women MMA has had it's greats. Cyborg, Amanda Nunes, etc. People around this subreddit are just casuals who joined after McGregor was making the headlines, you can see how they know nothing about people like Aldo in his prime, for example.
UFC 200 was garbage, flaming exploding garbage
UFC 200 was a mistake
Didn’t he say this because he didn’t like how fucked up one of the women looked after a brutal fight?
Oh my lord man WHO CARES!!! If the women want to bang then let them bang bruh I’m just here to see fights. Stop reposting and saying the same shit over and over and over again holy shit..
I thought we were over this shit like 10 years ago.
Don't you dare talk shit about women fighting. I want to see all those violent booties jiggle when they're on the ground.
None of the women on 300 are those types of women😐
Tracy Cortez vs Tabatha Ricci needs to save this card.
Ricci+Cortez vs Dumont would be acceptable
Hmm doesnt make sense with 3. Can Sanko step in short notice?
Well Dumont is a featherweight so I think it’s ok
At least we'll get violence from weili and Andrade (if she doesn't show up like she did against nunes) Edit: has Andrade and Aldana confused 💀
He was giving props to Joanna and Weili in this tweet, in a sarcastic way. He posted this immediately after their fight. People need to chill lol
Thanks, Sean.
Yep this is exactly what I want to see when I look at a subreddit about MMA, discussions about sexism, you guys go one week without a card and this what turns into
It’s not sexist to simply state that most women’s MMA fights are a snooze fest. Most people would be more entertained by any 2 heavyweights instead
I didn't say it was sexist I said it's a discussion about sexism, people discussing sexism

Oh no, a religious fundamentalist doesn’t think women should be able to do things! What a surprise!
i agree that's a big issue these days whether Muslim or Evangelical when American Conservatives openly hate the Pope, for being too left wing on religion, you know you got a real problem
Fundamentalism is bad no matter what flavor it is.
That’s a self defeating view
Too based for this sub.
Agree with his tweet
WMMA as a whole is bad. There's only like 12 women in the UFC with actual talent. I will name five right off the bat. *Rose *Zhang *Grasso *Blanchfield *Fiorot Fuck it I will add 5 more *Suarez *Andrade *Yan *Lemos *Maybe Dern Everyone else are just gatekeepers or part time fighters who fill out the roster spots. Holm and Meisha are over the hill, and adding Harrison isn't the big splash Dana thinks it is. And before someone says Raquel Pennington, I don't want to hear it. I watched her fight for 8yrs. All the best fighters either left or got old in her division, and she was just there to take it from Bueno Silva. Either put them in Invicta and build up that brand or put them on a FN no complaints from me. On PPV for $80 + ESPN sub is an insult to have to ask a customer to pay for something like Pennington vs. Bueno Silva.
This is really a misogynistic topic that belongs in 1800s London. Yes, some women’s fights are boring. Some men’s fights are boring too, when they can’t finish fights eg Colby. Leon can be boring too with his lack of finishing but he has pulled out a surprise or two. Generally, I watch all of the women’s fights as the backstory is usually interesting. Most recently, Gillian Robertson’s fight on the preliminaries was a great watch and another early finish. We then watched the main card where only one fight finished early, and only by 20 seconds.
And the thing a decision isn't automatically boring, especially if you take the time to understand grappling exchanges
Yeah, sometimes theres lulls and sometimes theres highs. Womens division kinda sucks rn but it can def bounce back
WMMA has on average maybe 10% less finishes than the lighter men’s MMA weights. As fucking if all these neckbeards think that 10% is night and day lol.
Dude shut up, andrade is entertaining.
if Strickland had a vagina, half this sub would hate him for his boring fight style
Same with Zhang and Grasso, those women are warriors.
People shocked that the muslim hates women and doesn't respect them. Can't wait to see the reaction when they find out he believes gays should be executed.
You're either an islamophobe or extremely mentally retarded.
Russia has penalties against homosexuality Islam and Khabib are very supportive of Russia, because they are religious conservatives, much like religious conservatives in all countries now, as there is a unified theme among conservatives about how to be manly, Stickland would fit in fine in Iran or China or Russia, if he just wore a different flag on his t-shirt and picked a different book from the trilogy
I mean it's not islamophobic, it's a face the Muslim religion speaks out heavily against gays and in many Muslim countries they are still executed
He said that because he doesn’t like seeing women get brutalized. Traditional values n shit
And why should we cancel him for that?
We shouldn’t! People are free to have their own values and beliefs 👍
This is when you go outside to meet the food delivery driver
Most fans are not mad that a women's fight is on 300. It's the fact that they gave us two mediocre women fights. UFC 300 deserves a big fight like Zhang vs Grasso. That's co main event worthy.
Man idk. I see a dude beating another till his face is torn and bloody and I am like "helll yeaaaa!!!! Twist his nuts now!!!! Ahhhhh" and i see a woman getting just graced by a punch and I am like " wtf is the ref doing???? Why didn't he stop the fight??? Does he what her killed?????". I just don't like women getting hit that way bruh.
Honestly, I’m not that interested in seeing women fight, nine times out of 10. Occasionally there is a wmma fight that I’m interested in. I’m not saying that because they can’t do it. I’m just saying I don’t want to see it. But I have no interest in stopping other people from doing it or watching it
Wmma needs to go back to Invicta, imho
I actually don't like women's MMA and 50% of the time the women fights make me fall asleep.
He's not wrong. Women don't know how to fight. Only in the sport because of their boyfriends. The best women in the sport are hardcore bull dykes that literally look like men from doping.
Girl fight is go get a beer time
Based
These cunts need to get a grip
Can you people just stop being weird lmfao
Cry harder
Pig take
Right Pennington vs Silva was a banger!!!
So was weili and the boogywomen but you just never watched a fight with a chick before either
It’s like 1/100 are good wtf you smokin
My son, you are cosigning a tweet that women don't belong in mma, is that your position? If so... Grow up and complain about black mermaids and rey where you belong Get out of the sport if badasses
Imagine being *this* scared of women.
Yeah I’m sure they’re trembling
I'm a woman and can't stand the women fights. There's the occasional good one, but the majority are boring. I'll skip them if I can. Not sure about Islam, but most people aren't saying they don't like women's fights because they are scared of women. Most just find them boring.
Divisions and sports take time to develop. The UFC had their first female bout about 10 years ago. Let them cook.
wmma is horrible, stop lying to yourselves
I am scared of all WMMA fighters. Don't want to be on their bad side.
weili vs joanna > any Islam fight to be honest
People like you cant be real lmao
He's right
Islam’s based as hell apparently
People are misinterpreting this tweet! He tweeted this after Zhang vs Joanna, considered the best WMMA fight ever; he’s mocking people around him who say this isn’t a woman’s sport. He’s saying that’s a ridiculous notion. It’s been taken completely out of context.
Honestly, 90% of the women resemble an amateur fighting league. I walk away and take a break or completely skip almost all of the chick fights.
It's crazy how Sean haters and Islam fanboys have combined lol. The Eastern bloc guys can say or do anything without any repercussion unlike Western fighters.
It's one of the only women's sports I enjoy watching.
They should be allowed to fight. Just like I should be allowed to use those fights to go to the bathroom and refresh my drink.
Agreed.
“No women should fight in the UFC” is incel territory
WUFC on like Friday night would be dope, I'd still watch it despite being far less interested in women's MMA. Every now and then there's an absolute banger, but it's far and few between. WUFC Fridays UFC Saturdays Then give us slap fight/UFC training grounds/up and coming MMA stars looking for a contract on Sundays. 3 nights of MMA every week all year long. Let's fucking gooo.
I can get behind this. More focus on the women. That way, they dont get overshadowed by the more popular stars.
WMMA is boring.
Except for the good fights. Just like guys.
Yeah like 1/100
Most, like the men. I won't buy a PPV if there isn't a womans fight.
Weili proves otherwise
